Dewan Chand & Sons

Down at Bara Tooti Chowk in Sadar Bazar, things are always moving fast. Our place is at Plot No-725. It’s been in the family for a long time. You can see the history in the wooden counters and the way the floors have worn down over the years. Sadar Bazar is loud and packed with people, so getting anything delivered takes patience. We spend a lot of our time on the phone or writing in big registers. There are stacks of boxes everywhere you look. It’s not a showroom; it’s a working warehouse and office. We don’t bother with fancy decorations because they would just get covered in dust anyway. My father and I sit here most days, handling whatever comes our way. Sometimes the traffic outside is so bad that customers just walk from the main road. We know most of the other shopkeepers around here. We drink a lot of tea and talk about the market prices. It is a basic way of living, but it works for us. We handle the goods, check the quality, and move them out. There isn’t much more to it than that. Every evening, we pull down the shutters and head home, only to do it all again tomorrow. It’s just honest work in a very busy part of town.
